render-cosmic-mythology-voiceover
Assemble a cosmic-mythology-voiceover reel from a config — a warm spoken voiceover carries the whole narrative while N curated cosmic stills are weighted beat-synced across the delivered VO duration (cut_dur = VO_dur times weight over the weight sum, so emotional beats hold longer), Ken-Burns-zoomed per still (scale 2x, center crop, zoompan, fade-in first and fade-out last), ffmpeg-concatenated, the VO composited under the picture (libx264 crf18 plus aac), the ONE on-screen hook line faded on over the open with a drawtext alpha window, and Whisper/VEED captions burned along the bottom — never

# render-cosmic-mythology-voiceover Assemble a **cosmic-mythology-voiceover** reel from a config: a faceless, cinematic storytelling video where a warm, contemplative spoken **voiceover** carries the whole narrative (a "myth as teacher" reframe) over a slow, weighted **Ken-Burns zoom** across curated cosmic / mythology stills in ONE ethereal deep-indigo + gold look, with ONE on-screen hook line and burned captions. This capability is the **FREE, deterministic assembly** — the weighted beat-sync sequencing, the Ken-Burns render, the concat, the VO composite, the hook overlay, and the caption burn. `scripts/config.example.json` is the worked example (WishAstro "Saturn isn't your villain", ~31s 1080×1920 9:16, 12 weighted Ken-Burns cuts); `scripts/PIPELINE.md` maps every config block to its source step and `scripts/README.md` documents the free assembly. ## Run There is a single runnable script — `scripts/render.py` (config-driven, ffmpeg + Pillow only, NO API keys and NO `drawtext`/`libass` required): ```bash python3 scripts/render.py --config config.json --vo working/vo2/vo_atempo.mp3 \ --stills-dir working/stills --out working/final.mp4 \ [--words working/vo2/words.json] [--endcard

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill render-cosmic-mythology-voiceover --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
